What if you are running cm9 and want to flash this rom is it ok to just flash el26 kernal then flash blazer? Thats what I have been doing with all my ics roms and havent had any problems yet.

Go sms pro sends it over wifi and has sick themes I would look into it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertm2011:
Yeah, EL26, wipe everything (data/factory, cache, dalvik) then flash.

BTW, you're going to love this rom, great battery, super-stable, sweet!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
With the latest 'safe' CWM kernels that have been released for ICS I can't say I trust any of them to fully wipe and format a kernel or ROM. I will wipe cache/davlik cache, flash an updated app/mod and do backups and restores.

There have been a new rash of bricked phones because people are beginning to believe they are safe, forget which kernel they're running... whatever the reason may be.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm sticking with the Stock EL26 flashing method. I enjoy my phone too much. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertm2011:
Absolutely correct, sir, that is the safest way to go; I've been using the TWRP F11 TW for my last 4 rom changes (only TW-based roms), have wiped everything and flashed without a hitch. I guess I'm putting myself out as a voluntary tester... ;-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brewsbro:
Is there a simple way to turn the status bar background color back to black?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
You'd have to do an image swap for it in System/app/systemui/Res/drawable-hdpi
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Agreed. Even though the "safe" recoveries look nice, I'm going to wait until source is released to mess with them. I've seen a couple cases where some pretty experience people are bricking their phones and there's no real explanation behind it.

EL26+CWM has almost become a way of life for me and it really only takes me about 15-20 minutes to restore all my apps and settings the way I like them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertm2011:
Yeah, after all the new roms I've tried out, I've got restoring and setting everything up down to a science...but I've always wanted to be on the cutting edge. :-)

Edit: These two recoveries have the Gingerbread binaries that do not call an EMMC wipe...

according to people more knowledgeable than I, that's where the "Superbrick" comes from.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cyburke:
thanks for the 411...

yes, i'm on this ROM presently: Calkulin's_E4GT_ROM_v3.0.zip (EL29 IIRC)

it's running great, and excellent battery, but I miss the ICS i've used for so long on my old Nexus S 4G.

i have the standard CWM installed, not the touch version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nyckrs:
How do you restore apps on ics? I used titanium but it stays at 0% for like forever.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
Titanium has always worked for me on ics :/.. Do you have the pro version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Make sure debugging is turned on in settings -> development, select apps only in titanium batch restore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
I just unmount the sd card, restore with TB. when done, mount the sd card.

obviously, make sure your TB folder is on your internal sd card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] theBIGmack:
Seriously having GPS issues with this ROM. I cannot get a lock ANYWHERE unless I turn on Wi-Fi (and even then it doesn't lock, just "guesses" closer to where I am). Any suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nyckrs:
swt thanks for the fast reply.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrkevo3000:
When on wifi & your on a call you should be able to send and receive mms, when I was on blazer 4.1 gb, venoms gb, rj22 blue cuben [running currently] I can be on a call and send and receive mms... Are you guys flashing different kernels that could be the problem!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shift Sunny:
Can someone try to move an app to their sd card and let me know how it goes? Iv tried a few things and cant get it to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fishfuzz:
Having quite a few data problems with this release. This morning, had a few more MMS messages come in (was connected via WiFi), but couldn't get them to download. Turned off Wifi, 3G enabled, then MMS started to come through - and emails as well (didn't realize they weren't appearing).

This didn't exist on the Phantom ICS alpha (nor did the SD card issue).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrkevo3000:
@fishfuzz: download setdns from the Android market and open it up change settings to open then reboot phone tell me if this improves data connection and mms! If it doesn't simply uninstall the app clear caches reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I know everyone is trying to help, but...

People please stop spamming this thread with MMS/SMS issues. Sprint is having problems. I'm having problems, my partner can't even place phone calls dependably right now. I already posted the thread with a lot of other users currently having issues and it is here in General Q&A:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1715584

There is nothing wrong with your phone or most importantly this ROM!

Thank you - TD
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brewsbro:
I had this at first. I used the app gps status and used its reset. I then rebooted phone and gps was a fast lock. Hope this helps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fishfuzz:
That seemed to make a big difference. I'll monitor and post if I have continued troubles with MMS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qbking77:
Getting videos compiled and uploaded!

Quick tip for everyone.. FLASH THIS ROM!

I love it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fishfuzz:
I disagree. While there may be an outage from Sprint. Using the setdns app greatly increased the MMS arrival speed thus far (of course, it's not increasing bandwidth, but rather the time it is taking to get to the download step).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Changing your DNS does not indicate that Sprint is NOT having issues. It appears that you are just going 'around' the real issue. I already posted about Setdns as a possible workaround in the posted thread.

I'm glad it works for you though. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Wow, QBKing said, "FLASH THIS ROM!"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
LOL, I feel like I'm on Gilligan's Island with the movie star.

Only problem is there's too many Gilligans running around here! :D

Edit: You need to be ^ this tall to climb on this ride...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fishfuzz:
Isn't that what I just said? ;) I'm glad we agree.

Anyone flash FF11 modem as well?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vadyr56:
Ran my first cycle on this rom with the FF11 modem and had absurd pocket drain; from full charge to 80 percent in about an hour and a half. Granted, I had terrible service in that area which is almost always the case where I live. Going to try tomorrow with EL29 which seems to give me the least drain when my phones just idling with most roms. Cheers!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brewsbro:
I'm with you on that thin white line. I'm sure PH is on it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] benthe1:
Great job PhantomHacker! I was considering upgrading early to either the EVO LTE or GSIII but I'm going to stay with this phone for awhile thanks to you. Seriously! Keep the tweaks and MODs coming. Hopefully you're getting enough donations to justify continuing development in this awesome phone! :-)

Great work on the rom!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
It's not Sprint, it's the ROM. I flashed to Calks E4GT 3.0 rom and it works fine when on a phone call and connected to WiFi. I don't know why Blazers rom wouldn't as I thought it closely mirrored Calks ROM.

Crazy. I disabled it after flash, and now it's back. Guess I need to see if it's reenabling somehow. Thx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] E4gt007:
Hey guys- I'm still on Blazer 4.1 ( and love it..) but- wasn't there going to be an OTA update or some other update from Phantom for this Rom? I cant wait to try out this ICS rom- but I will wait until stability is 100 %.. ( if thats a normal expectation so to speak.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Woah, how did you theme it like that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JAMBergie:
I've had the same thing happen. I prefer to control the brightness myself and I've noticed the auto brightness will occasionally randomly change, which is annoying. I had the same thing where the auto-brightness was re-enabled on its own.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertm2011:
I'm using Nova Prime 7X7 with a wallpaper I found on MyColorScreen, the icons are My Dark Round icons, courtesy of BlackBearBlanc; the date and time are Minimalistic Text and the phone call and mail count is Missed It! (both found on the Play store); the text icons are made with Simple Text and the font used throughout is SixCaps.

Oh, and the status bar is Status Bar +.

this is my favor rom but battery life is short

i love this rom i been using blazer roms for months but this rom is nice smooth but for some reason my battery is draining with out use is just me or this the issue of this nice rom thanks this is how it looks

Next update coming in the next couple of days.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wotan2525:
Have been on Blazer 4.0 since it came out. Was waiting for Blazer before I upgraded to ICS.... here are my thoughts:

- Not as smooth and/or polished as the GB Blazer.

- No major bugs that I've found, yet.

- Task switcher seems horribly ugly (not sure if this is stock ICS or something went wrong?)

- I hate the ICS YouTube app

- The screen seems like it's too sharp. Everything seems to have very hard lines around text/elements. It doesn't appear there's anti-aliasing? (Not sure if GB had anti-aliasing or if this is a different issue.... but it's very annoying when reading text!)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Phantom by chance are you going to rebase off the FF18 build? I believe the official leak should be out any time now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dw3bb10:
Hmmm....I can sort of agree that its not as smooth as 4.1 was.

AND, I get reboots randomly, especially when dealing with SetCPU.

THOUGH, its important to keep in mind that this ICS rom, as with all of them, are built from a LEAKED build. It'll get better!

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

I submiited my previous post, set up a SCREEN OFF profile in SetCPU, and my phone rebooted. Guess ill have to run stock frequencies...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dragonOL2:
anyone want to weigh in with their preferred method for restoring apps and app data after a full wipe? I know you shouldn't mess with restoring system data in TB (especially since this is a GB to ICS move I'm assuming?) so I just wanted to get a few opinions before I make the jump...

P.S. I'm on the latest Blazer

Use better battery stats to see what is draining your battery or what the root of the problem is.

In settings under development I make sure that only 1 process is allowed it saves me a lot of battery. Maybe not the best thing but worth a try.

I always use Titanium Backup Pro and restore app and app data, never system data. I have noticed over time that there are a couple apps that cause the process to hang, so I just reboot and uncheck those.

Keep up the good work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
what's even easier than rebooting when it hangs is to unmount your sd card in storage settings, restore all user apps+data and then remount your sd card. that solves the hangs for me.

Thanks guys this is just the info I was looking for... On to flashing!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jklong03:
Has anyone tried going to Preferences in TB and in the restore location uncheck the Android controlled option and forcing restores to internal storage?? Seems that would get rid of the problem when apps try to restore to the external sdcard.

I've been on Blazer for 2 days so I hope the battery has settled by now. So far, though, the battery life hasn't been very impressive. I don't have any wakelocks that are disrupting the battery life, but Android OS is running at like 50% and my idle battery loss is like 8% an hour :o. I'm still gonna wait a couple more days for it to settle though. Otherwise, Blazer is "blazing" fast and smooth. Nice job, PH :). Can't wait for more Mods to come in either haha.
